500GB HD Space problems

[Munch]

I installed a 500gb in my Softmodded 1.6 XBOX via CHIMP.

I made 1:1 copy of the original harddisk.

It boots fine into unleashX but I says there are 0mb Free on Drives E: and F:... (c: drive about 300mbs)

same results with different jumper settings. (Cable select should always work?)

do I have to make some partitions ? I already have C/E/F/H/X/Y/Z ?!

what is the maxium partition size that is possible?

Have you tried formatting F and H, what happened to G, with xbpartitioner You should not have a problem with 500gb and it will choose the cluster size. Thepitt uses xbpartitioner in his 2tb guide.

If the new hdd is larger than the current one do not use the 1:1 clone.
Use the select partition option & clone C & E only.

You can use two programs to format the F & G partitions correctly.

XBPartitioner v1.3
Chimp 2618
(option 4 I think)

If using chimp you select option 4 (I'm sure it's that) & select the apropriet option, you can also check the partition cluster sizes, handy.

Idotsfan said Chimp 2618 formats the hdd correctly.

thanks I've redone that and it works now. Strangley I hadn't anyproblems with a 1:1 copy over a 160gb HD?!
